Think that was towards the fee, but hopefully your info will end up being correct! You think it’ll get done? |  |

I don't know because, as we've seen in the past with other deals, Blackburn are a bit of a nightmare to deal with. |  | |  |

Interesting. Stuart Watson didn't dismiss it out of hand a couple of weeks ago but said it appears to have initiated from Szmodics team rather than Town. Wonder if the Broadhead injury has pushed this forward or we were always interested. |  | |  |

Has been going on much longer than Broadhead's injury. We've been interested in him in previous windows as well. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

In some cases meh, but then in other ways, savvy pick-up. I know he's 28 but we can't sign EVERYONE with a view to selling for a profit. We need to use some of our kitty to sign players that can improve us immediately. I think Szmodics would make a really good rival for Broadhead as that narrow left 10. |  | |  |

The interest goes back further than our interest in Philogene as well. So don't necessarily think it rules out another left sided 10. |  | |  |

Each to their own, but not for me. Had an amazing season, but it’s a one off if looking at the rest of his career to-date. Happy to give everybody a chance, but I think we can and should be aiming higher than Szmodics. |  | |  |

Depends how Szmodics acts I guess. If he kicks up a stink we are hugely in the driving seat. He's 28 and this is possibly his last crack at getting a PL move. He's not even at a club that will be challenging in the Championship next year, Blackburn will be in a proper scrap again. He isn't going to want to hang about there. And he wants to move back down South anyway. [Post edited 22 Jul 2024 11:27]

He also signed a new contract recently to agree to stay for the season. Wonder if his side included a release clause. |  | |  |

McKenna has been keen on him virtually since he walked through the door. I certainly trust his judgement. |  | |  |

That’s absolutely fine, people are allowed different opinions / expectations. |  | |  |

That's the thing, as always. However informed and good a judge any of us consider ourselves to be, we should all be smart enough to realise that if we're not in concord with what KMc thinks, we're wrong! |  |

That fee was what was being discussed, was inevitably going to be pushed higher. I thought that was implicit in what I wrote. |  | |  |

But neither of you have any insight into what McKenna is thinking. Moves and links can also be pushed as a result of the recruitment team and agents. So people are perfectly valid to be questioning moves if they don't think they are the right ones, it's not necessarily questioning McKenna. |  | |  |
